what is the command to ping a NFS client via a Vlan port?

[netappmagic]

For instance, I have a backup Vlan and need to verify the connection to a backup nic on the host. CDOT

Thank you for sharing!

you can ping from a lif, not a VLAN:

net ping -lif lif_nfs2 -destination IP

[netappmagic]

::>net ping -lif-owner cluster1-nfs-2 -lif cluster1-nfs-2-02 -destination x.x.x.x

 (network ping)
no answer from x.x.x.x

I could not get the response back when I run the above command on the filer.

Both are on the same subnet, a private network for backup. I got the lif name "cluster1-nfs-2-01" from "net int show" command.

Can anything block the ping between host and the filer? there is no firewall here.

Should I try something else, or is there something else I need to do before the following command could work out?

 It seems that I could not use IP address to replace lif name

Its probable worth confirming that your routing is configured correctly. You can obtain the routing information by running:

 network routing-groups route show

[netappmagic]

Well, I tried the routing group command.

However, the lif and the nic on the client host are located on the same subnet, both are x.x.30.x, so, routing group should not be invovoled.

Correct?

Furhter, the client (linux) host CAN ping the lif through the specific nic, but not the other around, if I use "net ping..." command

Whe

vlan that is associating with lif has the following settings:
                                    Auto-Negot  Duplex     Speed (Mbps)
Node   Port   Role         Link   MTU Admin/Oper  Admin/Oper Admin/Oper

          data         up    9000  true/-     auto/full   auto/10000

The lif connection looks healthy. Could something blocked ping on the filer?

Can you perform a traceroute from the netapp to the client?

 network traceroute -node <node name> -destination <destination ip>

If its setup correctly the client should be the first hop.

[netappmagic]

Yes, the client IP is indeed the first hop.

> net traceroute -node node02 -destination x.x.30.109
  (network traceroute)

traceroute to x.x.30.109 (x.x.30.109), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
 1  linx_host (x.x.30.109)  0.490 ms !Z  0.208 ms !Z  0.177 ms !Z

right, this comand showed there is no switch involved.

Looking forward to hear the next step. Thank you!
